User Submitted Toshiba e755 Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 2003 Reviews (cont...)

Just got the Toshiba e755 yesterday. First impression, the unit is BIG and little heavy compared to my other iPAQ. I can now feel it on my pocket.
On first power on, the screen went white (just lighted). Tried several options/buttons and still nothing. I thought the unit was dead. I then removed the battery and put it back on. The unit then started working.
The first test was the wireless. It took me about an hour to configure the 802.11 with my Linksys AP. The reason it took so long was the WEP config. Without WEP, the unit detected my AP and I was connected to the network in couple minutes. You have to get use to browse the web via a handheld, the screen is very small. I liked using MS messenger, this is great.
Tried some videos using MediaPlayer9 via wireless and was impressed of the result. This unit is faster and smoother when playing video than my iPAQ. I will be testing VPN and Terminal Services, this will be a good test for work.

Battery usage seems to be good but carry an extra battery if you plan using the wireless. I got about 2h of wireless usage (regular use). The charging time is not too bad either, it took less than 2h to recharge from a dead battery.

Overall, I will give a 5 stars. THis is a great unit, if you're a power users, get this one. At $320, it offers many features than other PPCs for the same price.

Best PDA Available
I am a Linux user and I was going to buy a Zaurus SL5600 as my first PDA. The reason I didnt do this is because my buddy bought it (wanting to impress me) and the media player was extremely skimpy, and while the community was large, no user-made software was very high-end. As a gamer too, I found no games in these communities that were very high end or even interesting to me. I also have to admit it was a bit big. Lastly, I didn't get the Zaurus because it cost JUST as much as this PDA did for me, however this has built in WiFi. It has the same specs, but i have completely wireless internet with NO additional cards. This means I can carry my CF 1gb MicroDrive and STILL browse the internet. I can listen to my MP3 collection and surf the net at the same time! I also use this to take notes during meetings. This PDA has so many usefull functions.

The Toshiba e755 is my first PDA. I have had NOTHING but fun with it from day one. After setting the software up on my one and only windows machine at home (which was very easy - almost too easy) I imediately used some 3rd party software to put a trailer of Spiderman on the PDA. I was AMAZED by the vibrant colors displayed by the back-lit screen and also by how smoothely the frames ran. Next I recorded a simpsons episode and transfrered it to my PDA. The results were astounding. You would never believe that I could fit a TV show in 8mb, a little less than 1/16 of the entire storage space available on this PDA!

Gaming has been reasonably fun on this unit as well. I got the Tomb Raider game and it looks incredible. On such a little device, I was able to play the original Tomb Raider at FULL SPEED (great game by the way). This is perfect for on-the-road kind of things.

Last, but not least, is the audio playback. It is pretty incredible. My brother's iPod sounds JUST as good as my PDA, but his unit gets louder. My one real complaint about the PDA is that the speaker doesn't get loud enough. This is only minor, however, because when headphones are plugged in, even for my deaf ears, they are, on a scale between 1 as the quitest and 10 as the loudest about a 7. This is fine, it is RIGHT where I like my sound levels. I dont know how everyone else likes it, but this PDA, coincidentally, hits the spot.

I forgot to mention the Wireless 802.11b internet access. While it isn't the FASTEST way to connect to the internet, as I said before, it saves you money because you then have a CF slot available. Since CF is cheaper than Secure Digital, you can get higher storage cards for cheaper than you could with a SD card. The biggest advantage to having the wireless WiFi is the convenience of it. It doesn't make the PDA much bigger, there are no cards sticking out of the top, and you dont need to search around for the card when you want to use it. All you have to do is flip the switch at the bottom of the PDA. Warning you, however, this wastes battery life minutely faster. If you wish to use the WiFi, make sure you have atleast 80 percent battery left. On a full charge I clocked my batteries with full backlight and wifi on for about 1 and a half hours. With WiFi off, however, I clocked 3 hours and above. This is definitly great power management wise.

So there you guys have it. This was my first PDA and I was very happy with it. I recommend this to all users. If people ever ask why Compaqs are so much more money, don't ask me. My PDA is just as good, and theirs dont come with WiFi built in. You see my verdict, 5 stars. Please, if you are in the market for a high end PDA, this is the one to get. It is small, sleek, convenient, pretty affordable, and powerful. Nothing in the world can beat it.

Nice hardware, clumzy software
PROs:
Extra large screen (3.8 inch vs standard 3.5)
WiFi
CF + SD slots + 32MB flash + 64MB RAM = plenty of storage.
Reasonably fast CPU but won't break speeed record.

Cons:
Tiny speaker -> bad sound quality
Size slightly too large for pocket
The clumzy and buggy Windows CE & ActiveSync
Bad documentation. Difficult to setup wireless synch.

Great for wi-fi!
If you need a wi-fi PDA you should consider this one. Pocket pc 2003 has made connecting wi-fi easier than before. It automatically sniffs out wi-fi APs and prompt you which one you'd like to connect to. Because this Toshiba has built-in wifi, you don't need to carry extra cards, which would have been bulky and wasting more battery power. And the memory! How can you not love so much memory in a Pocket pc, which is not the most efficient OS in the world, so the more memory = better performance. Xcale processor runs fast, but not hot, so you don't burn your fingers. Seriously this is the best Pocket pc and the wifi function just blows the competition away.

My 3rd PPC and by far the best!
This is the 3rd Pocket PC I have owned. (I had a Philips Nino and a Cassiopeia EM500) The Technology and the features of Win CE has come a long way. The built in WiFi connect with ease to my home and work networks. However, being familiar with WiFi home networks does help. The range of the WiFi was better that I expected and is compraiable to any of my other WiFi devices.
In all this the best PPC I have had and I have had a month now with no issues. I highly recommend this unit over many of the others. And [at the price], you can not beat the price for performance!
